THE FIRST PERSON SEEN.

Mrs. Sarah Meredith, who lives at
the extreme end Of Williamsburg ave-
nue., was the first person seen by the
reporter. She is a middle.agcd woman,
and from her surroundings seems to be
in quite humble circumstances.
Mrs. Meredith, said the newspaper
man, | understand you know some
thing Of man who has been missing,
and is supposed to have been murdered
on the Darbytown road, about two
miles from here. wish you would tell
me oil that you know about it.
Very good Mrs. Valentine, who
lives near by, told me almost AL that |
know. She told me that about three
weeks ago she left home, with two
boys-one her son-to get some whor-
tleberies. 1t was about 6 o'clock in
the morning, and when she had gone
about two miles on the Darbytown
road she picked up a small looking
glars, some bottles of cologne, and a
fne-comb, and her little boy found
straw hat in field near by. Her little
dog ell at once commenced to behave
very queerly, and ran in the bushes
near by. She followed it, and beneath
an oak bush saw man lying fiat upon
his face. She told me that she did not
hrow whether it was white or colored
nan, fOr she did not see his face. She

TEE SHERIFF.
Mr.. J. VI. Southwark, sheriff OF Hen
rico, made the following statement to
the Dispatch man About three weeks
ago colored man who was digging a
foundation for an ice-house for Mr..
CuItley, who lives in this neighbor-
hood, found several pairs of shoes
where the body was said to have been
seen by Mrs. Valentine. This colored
man notified Mr.. Curtley, who went to
the place where the shoes were found,
and sent a message to Mr.. .DrInker and
Mr.. Roper, his neighbors, asking them
to join him. Upon their arrival they
began to search the field. They had
not taken many steps before they found
shirts, collars, cuffs, four hats two of
them Derbys and two others straw,
two or three coats, and several
bottles of cologne with labels of
the city of Brooklyn upon them, and
photograph-album without pictures.
In the pocket of one Of the coats was
found photograph of A young man
who lives i'll the neighborhood named
Albert Bartholomew. Mr.. Willie Curt
ley, son OF the gentleman of that name
previously mentioned, went to see Mr..
bartholomew and informed him that
they had found lot OF clothing &c.
and that among the effects was his pic
ture and letter directed to him. Ills
reply was that they were his; that he
had thrown them away. as they were OF |
no account. When he saw them he
identified certain articles as his, aud
the others be knew nothing about. II |
is said that these things were found a |
day or so after Mrs. Valentine saw the
man lying by the roadside beneath the
OAK bush.
Mr.. Southwark says that Mr.. Atlee
told him that a pair OF the shoes had
never been worn, and that many Of the
articles were new. The collars and
cuffs were new. One of the coats had
the appearance of being worn but little.
Some Of the handkerchiefs were silk
These articles were scattered all along
he road fer about one hundred yards.
some OF them were found hanging
IN the bushes along the roadside.

ANOTHER AMENDMENT.

When the people are told another and
deeper scheme &c avoid debt settlement
by an amendment to the State Constitu-
ton, we really think that as the Coupon
Crusher is already doomed there ought
to be a reserve kept ready, in view of the
failure OF the amendment.
The proposed amendment could not
touch the validity Of the coupons upon
which the whole legal position Of the
creditors rests at present, and when that
should be found a vain device, the states
man in charge of the policy ought to be
ready with an amendment to the Con
stilution of the United States to fit the
great Virginia difficulty.
It Il certainly the only thing that could
extricate the State on the line OF main
tanning the Riddeberger settlement, and
a demand for II ought to be put in the
Democratic platform and applied in the
form Of a test-oath to every candidate.
It Is more practicable than the Coupon
Crusher, and, as promising is the plan Of
party campaigning on the debt question,
it would appear that good, big fat
promise would work better than a milder
one. II is true that it could not be ac-
complished, but we think so highly Of the
sense Of some Of our leaders as to believe
that they know the same of certain other
promised measures.
Your proposed measure if plausible
NAV bridge over the risks Of an election,
and after being elected on a myth the
happy statesman may trust his wits to
invent something else by the time the
last one fails.
If Boss Malone starts the idea of a
debt settlement by the aid Of the Federal
Government and sets the same to the
popular howl of his gang, it cannot be
denied that it would be very taking. The
Democracy would sorely need boom
with a good deal Of sound TO it, and the
amendment to the Federal Constitution
would be the very thing.

The President IS reported as contem-
plating visit to Monticello, where, if he
stands in reycrent contemplation of the
life and works Of the father of Dem
ocracy, all pious Democrats will invoke
for him the inspiration Of a great ex-
ample.
jefferson was in private and public
life model patriot and great champion
Of the theory Of popular government
which he formulated, and which the
sword of Washington accomplished
When Lafayette went to Monticello,
on his second visit to America, he was
so impressed with the great character Of
his host and the results of his work that
the greeting between the two men was
silent and so full Of emotion that neither
Of them spoke until the call for a toast at
the dinner table broke the spell.
The grand height and solitude Of the
quaint old place is in keeping with its
associations, and we hope the present
head Of the Democracy will visit it like
a good pilgrim and have no speech-mak-
iup
